You have to have

Half woman half man
There is just no other way to conceive
You can find ways to hide find ways to make believe
But that is the truth 
And it’s just funny so so funny
That that’s the way it is 
Photocopies gone similiar into the truth and yet so far
Life is so strange 
But stranger is how people make it to be
How life is so different
So wrong
And yet seen as so right
It’s Interesting how right then becomes wrong
And everything is in double
Like the squint in my daughters eye
How horrible I am to her 
A tree is her tree and no matter what it’s perfect 
But I don’t see it that way
I see she didn’t try but that’s probably a lie
As she did but it was hard for her age and then I got caught with an unmuted unmute 
 It god knows who I am 
This ridicule woman
Trying to think big when I’m so small 
And trying to be nice when I’m really not
Being sad looking at things wrong
But I would help them if they needed help 
But it makes me wonder why both stand taking the role of each other 
What’s my role 
What’s my status 
What are intentions
Am I really who I say I am 
Akeed no

The last door on the street

I am afraid of my situations
I should have why didn’t I 
I didn’t do this
I didn’t do that 
I need to do this 
Always in a constant battle for foreshortening in my life
And a an unrepaired outcome
Things done last moment
Things not done
Things wrong 
4/5/6 hours of waste each night
Better of asleep 
Better of reading 
Better of watching tv
Bettter of meditating
And then my body says
We hate you carrier
You don’t appreciate us 
You don’t even like us 
Here we are breathing for you
Trying to survive for you and you only 
Look the other way 
Even though you fill the mirror you still see nothing


This year of 2021 I have been overall a minus person
Things are not right in the mind inside
Things are not kind 
Things are working faulty
I’m on the wrong adventure
Or is it no adventure
I’m on the wrong path
It’s lonely
With broken slates and everyone’s inside warm with orange lights eating and drinking their happiness into the future
And I search for the right door
Is it this one ?
Or is it that one?
Which one behind it has all the remedies for my worries
For my helplessness
For me fears
For my everything

I try this door
Looks like a nice story to follow but there’s no hot chocolate her
What about the other door 
But there will never be any vivas here
What about this door
You can send all the emails you want you were not close
I am angry all these doors look glistening actually tricking me all the time 
Try this no try this no this will work 
Well it doesn’t work 
Never has never will 
I stand by a dark sign post and rest my head watching the hot air become cold as it leaves me happily dancing to the sky away from all my negative energy

And then I notice the last door on the street
It’s silent
No lights just one on the side but it’s attractive
The last door before the corner
Before I can’t see what’s on the other side
A big round clog lies on its centre
Nothing major but everything different from all the other doors I’ve knocked on 

My eyes link my mind invisible is drawn 
I walk over  slowly then quickly
And finally I stand in front of the door
Coming closer it looks wider the wood dark but solid
The circular handle nicely smooth 
The door just sits there 

I look around and notice no major sounds but I look down and notice a golden light from under the door. 
I ask myself if I knock on this door who will open? 
And if I knock on this door what will happen. 
Well this is the last door on the street
I’ve knocked on all of them before except this one
I’ve even knocked on some twice three and ten times 
I remind myself what happens when I knock
First the halls look interesting then you understand that there are tricks everywhere
Like it’s not like what ot seems
Like 5 hours of waste
Like feeling constantly tired

I look up the street from where I just was 
Some doors look really attractive 
Maybe I could just go to ones I’ve tried before 
I decide that previous doors are trustworthy at least I know what I’m in for
Failure
I start to walk away 
But then I stop 
The door looks at me and I look at it the wind takes language and turns leaves up on the street
I am suddenly aware of the words of the wind 
The trees sway in harmony
The tiles of the pavement connect with each other
The road is in existence 
I turn around and look at the last door on the street once more
I realise on that moment that I want to go forward not back 
I am interested in what this quiet less glittery door has to show
I take some footsteps and come in front of it again
I take a deep breath fist my hand to knock 

And then ….

Difficult situations -2

When you want to be something and you can’t
When you want to be a good mother and you can’t
When you want to be patient and you cant
When you want to be kind and you cant
When you want to not reply and ypu cant
When you want it to not be this way but it is
When you can’t stand what others are thinking and saying about you but you can’t
When you have work to do but there’s no time
When you want to be the best but end up being the worst
When you fear that will be the case always 
When ypu have 4 chances and you’ve already failed two 
When you think you’re smart but you really are not 
When you think you are healthy but you are really are not
When you’re just tired of being told off so many times it just doesn’t matter anymore
When you’re heartbroken about the results and pretend it’s ok 
It’s not ok 
When youre disgusted with yourself and try to hide that 
When you make a big mistake when ypu thought it wasn’t 
When you have to do something you just don’t want to do 
When you have no time for that paw thing you just do t want to do 
When no one picks up the phone on the other End of the line
When. You have to ring a million times and there is still no answer on the other end of the line 
When the emails you get are horrible
When your email gets forwarded to loads of people you’ve never even met
When youre a fake
When you beg for what’s it yours
I when you get a message that says 
يا خايبة
يخص
When you try to shut it out but you think it’s true 
When your failure is loud 
When you made that failure loud 
When you have to beg like a curling dog
When  you have to be out in your place really
When you have to be out in your place
Fixed mindset - Whwn you cannot get out of it 
When you feel so lonely and so big at the same time 
When it just cannot be done
When you feel so tired and someone else says I’m more tired than you 
So you can just shut up about your tiredness how dare you even think of it 
When the voice is always angry
Just like the exam you will never be able to fix it 
When you are too ashamed 

Difficult situations - 1

Like being time off

Like going out

Like being so naive

Like being what you think you’re not

Like being ambitious without cause

Like having a splitting headache

Like spending all day driving 

Like being tired and not sleeping

Like hating your swollen face

Like sending wrong emails

Like getting angry emails back 

Like knowing people are hating you behind your back 

Like knowing it’s just not for you 

Again like being too naive to see

 Like feeling negative and trying to be positive

Like begging for money

Like misunderstanding everything

Like being misunderstood in everything

Like drawing the wrong attention 

Like asking the wrong things 

Like 

Just

Being

Tired

Like brains cells feeling devastated

A full parking space with an empty heart

The window fills with my breath , the adrenaline beats just like exam time which I failed and failed again when I tried to make what was empty seem full
I feel pathetic not driven
For every reaction there is a solution 
Even if I win at things I still fail at my weakness of being weak 
People cannot fix what I do not have 
People cannot make better what I do not know 
People cannot change their minds about me 
But I can change my mind about the past
Even if the past was yesterday 
Being angry doesn’t work
Being hopeful with the wrong methods doesn’t work
You have left battlefields open 
 Living the lowest best as they said
Didn’t you ask for that now 
Failure is torment at what could have been and didn’t become however 
Failure doesn’t have to be wrong 

To be continued 

Now the mindset is wrong

Steering into loneliness can be a terrible thing
Can be the worst feeling
It’s funny how I don’t listen to anyone except what I shouldn’t listen to
It’s annoying how I annoy myself more than I annoy others
It’s scary how scared I am yet others are fearful of me
I feel hurt 
So I push myself down in the dark
The place of loss
The devils promise
 I promise that I can offer you poverty
And that’s what I’ve taken

I prayed to god that he would not let me return to the place of darkness I was in 
I’m trying but when I fail … sometimes
Does it mean he has not accepted?
I don’t think so 
I think he has
I wouldn’t be here with this idea otherwise
But I am so afraid so I back down into this rubbish hole rather than giving my heart and soul

Who am I ?
Am I really that powerful strength or am I a fake?

Too many emails

My thoughts blasted on peoples screen 
Uncensored
Powerful but annoying
True but angry 
Mi get so upset with myself 
Why can I not be powerful and kind 

These people are good 
And helpful and yet I am good but unhelpful 
There is a difference
Now I have the result but a new face 
The face of ugly
Dread 
Angst 
I create in others 
When this is not really me

Visits of a storm

I plead with myself and others to give me a chance
I beg not knowing do I have a right or not but I always try
You win some you lose soMe you win some you lose soMe but you always try

There is something lovely about being safe Inside your home with orange shades reflecting the darkness of a quiet house clean and happy after calmness from childrens laughters and cries . But there is something even nicer about living the storm from safety watching it rhythmically dance wind loud in the circles of force outside crashing into your silent room of hot boaeb herbal tea and warm winter jumpers socks and …. Stormy ways of life 

In those moments of a storm raging outside I give my own storms to it. For it sounds like my fights and my tries . Trying. Living . Breathing. Sometimes flat sometimes soaring sometimes heavy sometimes unknown . 

There’s something lovely about a raging storm when you’re in the nighttime silence warm healthy happy and … enlightened

Growth or fixed ? Can be both . I am both. But I have definitely taught myself how to grow. I would say I have learnt to control my storms in many ways and the ones that still batter me , like my weight I will come to learn. There are ones I fight and there are ones I win and Others I lose and others I ask to open my hearts attempts at before I attempt again. 
Ya Allah help Me

There’s something beautiful about being in a storm safe and guided by no sound just watching the winter trees move and move away and sway dance in those Atlantic visits from the sky

Visits of a storm  its starts at 3 am hung the first rain drops on my face the morning night coming our way I wondered if there would be a bus I hoped that there would and that my plan would help others and thankfully it did. That adrenaline feeling of travel of new adventures of Meeting airports and business lounges boy do I wish I could travel soon but that’s ok I hope I will 

The feeling of adrenaline meeting the red dials of a warm car in a freezing street mistaking the bus each time for lorries and yet I wondered where will everyone go . Here there and back home

Just before it all began . Just before the storm started thinking it would be one day and now it’s two days 
It’s wonderful . This sudden break in time . Just stay just breathe deeply all the new air visiting your lungs coming from deep from the ocean all the way out there. Here. Shaking your boundaries while you silently watch life explain it’s troubles

I have many troubles with myself
And yet today they have escaped into the loud wind that I see hear and only feel if I open the door

So will I open the door and let feel ??

What it is...

I see Life like a rose in the ice... beautiful but with cold settings - There are so many incredible things out there - but we always need to fight and perservere against the hardships too... otherwise the cold will win ... and we will wither away.

My imagination has led me to believe in something called 'Sudan Fairytale' -
The fantasy that My country will one day be independant and proud, never selfsish to provide its people with its needs, give freedom and success to all, be forever committed to achieve a prosperous inhabitance to every Sudanese in their own country-

My eyes fail me and I see the truth which I call - 'Khartoum Heartbreak' - This is a theme running through the blog under the 'Khartoum Heartbreak' Poems and whatever else about Sudan conveying broken down love, poor streets and cut off electricity along with a lot of other decays and problems in Khartoum city Life.

But I love my country and so I have no choice but to merge the Pain and the Love as one.

Faith is my heart and I could never do without it hoping in my prayers that I can be someone better always and that God forgives me as I fall in Mistakes through that frozen path of Life...

Sometimes I feel under control with all the too many emotions that run to colour my days and nights - Books, movies, music, dreams, friends, family, strangers, travel, - reality - the 10 O' Clock news -Most of the time I'm very Lost in trying to understand - whatever happens becomes tangled into writing this confusing memoir -

It's a really odd combination of air - not sure whether it is refreshing or suffocating - stabilising or maddening - But I breathe and
so it is
'Memoirs of a Sudanese breath' as I am 'Lost but under control' -
